I got a new laptop and can finally post conveniently again :D! Sorry for being MIA for so long...been missing this group !

How is everyone?

We are doing well :). Our newest little one, Evangeline, is 9.5m now and continues to have challenges, but overall is doing great! She sees a variety of specialists to manage her care, hopefully we're narrowing in on why she has these issues. We recently got the go ahead to take her off daytime oxygen which is very exciting, but she still needs it at night. She has some testing coming up and we're hoping for good results!

The rest of us are doing well. Two months ago we moved from MI to FL and are loving it! The home school year is almost upon us so I've been busy getting ready for that and working on getting the kids signed up with extra curriculars :).

Evangeline is so so adorable! I am glad she is doing better. She is a lucky little girl to have such a dedicated mommy.My little guy, Noah, is doing great. He is huge (6.5 months, 23lbs, 28in) but healthy and happy.

I'm so glad that you could make it back here. E is so cute and I'm still praying for good news for her.

My newest little one is now almost eleven weeks and doing well. She sleeps at least ten hours straight at night and then goes back to sleep for a few hours. She is also transitioning to two naps a day! She definitely is not staying a little baby and since she is likely my last child (apart from adoption) this makes me a little bit sad.

Here are a few recent pictures, one of my whole crew and one of A about two weeks or so ago.

Everyone has cute kids!! Cody just turned seven last month and Sophia will be four in November. I am at Ivy Tech part-time right now and I finally settled into a degree I love. My degree is General Studies with an emphasis on Psychology and it will transfer to a four year university. I will graduate with a Bachelors of Science in Psychology hopefully in 2019. I already have 21 credit hours under my belt that line up with my degree. I know its a long process however, it will be well worth it. My husband James is looking for a new job with better pay and benefits. I am hoping we will hear back soon from places he has applied with an interview.We have a new kitten Butterscotch he is almost 6 months old. <3

we are doing well. Q loved school for the first week and now he always says he does not want to go and nearly starts crying about it. but then is all excited and happy about school when i pick him up. V is loving having quiet days home with mommy and enjoys doing "schoolwork" (preschool workbook designed for 3 yr olds) my grandma just passed away and i am still dealing with that. the funeral is being planned. i was close to her and am having a hard time with this.dh's co-workers wife had her water break last weekend and shes not due till beginning of october. so the coworker is taking a few days off, leaving dh and the secretary to pick up his slack. so he has had long days and had to work on the weekend i hate that hes gone so much but the paycheck will be helpful since we just bought our first new car. (we have only ever bought used, and this is a 2015 and we are the first owners) loving the car and all its perks... so much nicer than my old '99 pickup truck. that remote unlock sure is awesome on a rainy day! OH and to have WORKING A/C is the most wonderful thing ever! ( heat too since the '99 does not even have that!)

It is great to see you back Kelly! I am jealous of your move to Florida from Michigan. I live in the Grand Rapids metro area. I'm sure it is really nice to be out of the winters here! My oldest Grayson turns 4 on September 19th and is starting preschool on the 14th. My youngest Quinn is 18 months now and is climbing on everything in sight. Here are some recent pics of them

Kelly, I was going to ask you which part of Florida are you in? I visited St. Augustine in 2006 and it was gorgeous. I highly recommend a visit to there. I am so jealous too. I live in Indiana and really do not like the ups and downs of the weather. I rather have a steady heat.

We are in Alachua, near Gainesville, FL. We go to Crescent Beach which is near St. Augustine frequently! I visited there as a kid, but haven't gone since we moved here...going to have to make a day of it

We LOVE the heat, lol, such a huge switch from MI weather! We got teased a lot before we moved that we were going to melt since we moved here in summer, but honestly we adjusted pretty quickly. Now we're cold if it gets into the 70s .

Kelly it is so great to see you in here again!! I have been MiA myself! Evangeline is absolutely adorable. Have the doctors been able to narrow down any diagnosis? She is cute as can be! Aiden is now 6 months old, 18 pounds and the happiest baby ever!!
